Madam Song, lacking any sense of martial ethics, swung her claw at Master Song.

With his eyes closed, Master Song thought to himself, "I'm doomed."

At that critical moment, Old Master Liu appeared like a savior descending from the heavens. In a flash, he swiftly pulled a yellowed talisman from his robes.

The talisman trembled slightly in the air, as if it contained boundless mysterious power.

As soon as the talisman was produced, a dazzling light burst forth, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked Old Madam Song's fatal claw strike.

Madam Song's attack was abruptly stopped, and the powerful impact made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Where the light flickered, ancient runes flowed faintly, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.

Master Song suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his eyes filled with shock and surprise.

He stared blankly at the talisman in Mr. Liu's hand, a feeling of relief at surviving a calamity welling up in his heart.

He looked at Mr. Liu with gratitude, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.

Mr. Liu looked solemn, holding the talisman tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Mrs. Song.

He knew this was only a temporary respite from the attack; Madam Song's madness had not yet ceased. He had to remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with the next attack at any moment.

After her attack was blocked, Madam Song became even angrier.

She roared and raised her claws again, preparing to launch a new attack.

However, the talisman in Mr. Liu's hand seemed to exert an invisible pressure on her, making her hesitant to approach.

At this moment, the atmosphere around them was extremely tense.

Everyone held their breath, watching this thrilling standoff with bated breath.

Will Mr. Liu be able to successfully thwart Mrs. Song's attack once again?

Will Mr. Song be able to emerge unscathed from this crisis? Everything remains uncertain.

But at this critical moment, Mr. Liu's calm demeanor undoubtedly gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

Mr. Liu: "……………………"

Calm down, my foot! I don't even know what this thing is. Not only are my hands numb, but they're also in excruciating pain.

Madam Song glared angrily at Mr. Liu, her eyes seeming to spit fire.

"You old hag, you've stopped me from getting revenge time and time again. Do you think I'm a pushover if I don't show my power?" She roared these words, filled with endless anger and resentment.

Her voice echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

She learned this phrase from Ma Linghua.

At this moment, the image of Ma Linghua's arrogant and domineering demeanor flashed through her mind, and the anger in her heart burned even brighter.

She felt as if she was being looked down upon by Mr. Liu, and this sense of humiliation was unbearable for her.

She let out sinister laughs, laughs that seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Her laughter was filled with madness and evil. A ferocious expression appeared on her face, as if a demon had descended to earth.

She cried out, "Children, come out!" As soon as she finished speaking, a rustling sound arose all around.

Then, something truly chilling happened.

Swarms of rats poured out from all directions like a tidal wave.

These rats all had red eyes that emitted an eerie glow.

They scurried around on the ground, making disgusting squeaking noises.

Everyone was stunned to see the dense swarm of rats.

They had never seen such a horrific scene before, and their hearts were filled with fear.

Some people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs went weak, and they could barely stand.

Some people screamed in terror and tried to escape this horrible place.

Looking at the rats, Madam Song wore a smug smile.

She knew that these rats would become her weapon of revenge.

She intends to use these rats to make Mr. Liu and Mr. Song pay a heavy price.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Liu's heart tightened.

He knew that these rats were no ordinary rats; they must have been controlled by Madam Song using sorcery.

He must find a way to deal with this crisis, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

Master Song was also terrified at this moment. He looked at the rats and his heart was filled with despair.

He never expected that Madam Song would resort to such a terrifying tactic.

He has no idea what he did that led him to this desperate situation.

The rats drew closer and closer; their numbers were so great that they were impossible to count.

They resembled a well-trained army, approaching Mr. Liu, Mr. Song, and the others.

The squeaking sound was like a death symphony, sending chills down one's spine.

At this critical juncture, Mr. Liu had to make a decision.

He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

He knew that only by remaining calm could he find a solution to the problem.

He began to think about how to break Madam Song's evil spell and how to get rid of these terrible rats.

"Mother, that old man is something else!" Ma Hehua said, looking at the staring contest in the Buddhist hall.

"Hmph! Cause and effect are predetermined. Just watch, he won't be able to maintain his virility for long."

Mr. Liu: "……………………"

Could you two please speak more quietly?

He heard everything clearly; how could he save face?

Sure enough, as time went by and the sky brightened, Mr. Liu's fighting ability was getting worse and worse.

As people get older, their physical strength declines, and besides, these rats seem impossible to kill; they can resurrect infinitely.

This is absolutely outrageous, not to mention he's going to fight a whole group by himself.

This bunch of useless idiots just keep yelling and shouting, it's so annoying! They didn't even check the almanac before they left home. If they had known, they wouldn't have come.

Is the money they're receiving perhaps bribes for risking their lives?

Just as the swarm of rats was about to attack the people of the Song family, Ma Linghua spoke up.

"That's good enough. They don't know anything, can't you just explain things clearly?"

After all this fussing, Master Song still doesn't know what he did wrong. It's like he's swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering!

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Linghua spoke, the mutated Old Mrs. Song immediately stopped moving.

“A year ago, Song An not only slaughtered all my descendants in order to build a school, but also trampled my stone statue under his feet. How could I not be angry? How could I let him go?”

As Madam Song finished speaking, Song An was stunned. Not only had thousands of rats in that rat hole been poisoned to death by them with just a few packets of rat poison back then, but...

He even discovered a stone statue that looked like a human and a rat. Thinking that the rat was stealing rice, he got angry and ordered people to smash the statue on the ground. He even stomped on it a few times to vent his anger.

But little did he know, it was a stone statue of a rat that had come to life. If he had known, he would have started digging somewhere else.
